Back to the Garden State

Going home seemed like it was going to take forever. For one, we had to climb aboard a bus and travel for a good hour and a half before even getting to the airport. And also, I don't think many of us really wanted to go back yet. We were all having so much fun living, experiencing, and traveling through Dublin, London, and Wales over the last week that the thought of going home was just a weird thought. I almost felt as though I belonged in Europe after the last week.

When we got the airport, we all checked in (after some minor problems with the ticketing computer) and walked around the airport duty-free. Cait and I grabbed something to eat before getting on the plane since we really didn't get to each much for breakfast. But after all that we finally boarded even though i was reluctant to do so and soon enough we were off to NJ.

All I have to say is Virgin Atlantic kicks ass! I thought a 7 hour plane ride during the day was going to be annoying, but Virgin airlines took very good care of us. They made sure everyone was comfortable the whole flight. They also had built-in entertainment centers in he headrests of each seat. It offered a wide variety of movies, music, and games to keep you busy during the flight. In the system, you could also call people, text message them, and check your current flight information like speed, altitude, distance traveled, and estimated arrival time.

So, overall the flight was really accommodating. It helped make the trip go faster despite the fact that I wasn't ready to go home yet. When we arrived in JFK we had to wait for our bus to take us back to Kean where my parents picked Cait and I up. They were really happy to see me and we talked about the trip all night when we got home. Promptly afterwards I passed out from being so tired.
